,- Simmons for Senator.
To the Editors We, the undersigned
citizens of the county of Greene and old
Confederate soldiers, desire to address
you in behalf of our friend, F. M. Sim
mons, who is a candidate for the impor-
tant office of United States" senator. We
do not believe that any citizen of North
Carolina has a right to demand the office
of senator on account of political service
alone, or on account of the money he has
spent for "sweet charity's sake." Char
acter, political experience and capacity
I to deal with questions' of politics and
statesmanship are the qualities which we
neea in a senator, and knowing - as we
do that Mr. Simmons possesses all these
in as high, if not higher degree, than any
other aspirant, we believe that for this
reason and also on account of his most
valuable public services, the eastern een
atorship ought to be conceded to him.
As ex-Confederates we are glad to see
political honors lavished uDon the old
soldiers, and truth compels us to admit
that the old soldier has received his share
of public office in North Carolina since
the war. Senator Ransom, Senator
Vance and Senator Jar vis were all Con
federate soldiers. And! so it has been
with the office of governor. Gov. Vance,
Fowle and Gov. Elias Carr, were all Con
liov. Jar vis, tiov.Kcales, Wov. iJoit.Gov,
federate soldiers. And so it bps been in
the congressional districts of the State.
No man can truthfully say thattheyoung
Democracy oi XMortn Uaronna naa . neg
lected, the old Confederate soldier. The
issue upon which the State campaigns of
leutJ and xyuu were fougnt and won
was more serious to white people than
any with which we had been confronted
since the war. It was Simmons who or
ganized out forces for the mighty conflict,
and it was under his splendid leadership
that we achieved the triumphant victory
oi August, ivvv. f ,
We must not forget the personal sacri
fices that he made; we must not forget
ine tremendous energy - ne displayed in
fighting for the suppression of negro
I Carolina: mnat not fnrtrot. htanripolosa
domination and radical rule in North
l public services. If the great Democratic
heart of North Carolina is still moved by
considerations of justice and gratitude
and duty, we believe tnat Simmons will
be named as the Democratic candidate
for United States senator.
As ex-Confederate soldiers who served
through the war and fought ' many bat-
JNortn uaronna to unite witn us in per
forming tnis solemn democratic duty.

" 'A Well Dressed" lVjier.V'''
In all large cities there is a way of
getting rid of undesirable persons by,
means of . giving , them a "pauper
pass" to some city to which they want
to go.
It seems that a lawyer who is quite
well known about town and who, like
many other persons, Is not averse to
traveling on a free ticket had made
several requests to a certain official for
a pass to New York. lie had been re
fused a number of times, but with a
persistence worthy of a better cause he
continued to bore his official friend.
Finally he was supplied with the mag
ic pasteboard, and without looking at
It he went to the railroad station and
paid for his seat In the parlor car.
When the conductor came along, the
lawyer, who, by the way, Is a man of
rather Imposing appearance, was read
ing a paper and with tlw nonchalance
supposed to bo second nature to those
who never pay their carfare held out
hie pass, never even glancing at the
conductor. That official took the pass,
read it carefully, looked at the holder
of it and then examined the pass again
with considerable care.' The lawyer,
noticing that the conductor seemed to
be giving the pass more than ordinary
attention, stared at the official with a
manner that Indicated that he might at
least be a director and asked with con
siderable warmth, "Anything the mat
ter with that pass?"
The conductor looked at his question
er In a quizzical way and then said,
"No; the pass is.1 all right, but you ar
certainly the best dressed pauper I
ever saw." Boston Transcript

An English physician of distinction
gives these suggestions for cure of in
somnia: In cases where the patient
sleeps for an hour or two, then wakens
with a start and cannot go to sleep
again the physician recommends that a
hot water compress be laid on the ab
domen,;! When one cannot go to sleep
on retiring and la unable to dismiss
thoughts that have occupied the day, It
-advised that the patient keep his
feet in water as hot as he can bear
comfortably for ten minutes before go
ing to bed. He should then put on a
pair of thin cotton hose wrung out of
cold water and over those a pair of
woolen ones. A more powerful remedy
is a mustard Bits bath with the propor
tion of a teacupful of mustard to a gal
lon of hot water. He should remain
seated in the bath from 10 to 20 min
utes. In many cases a reclining bath
In tepid water is useful as a sedative.
